I've had the original Brewstation for a few years. Other than a broken plastic bail on the tank, it has served us well the whole time.I heard about the new version from a co-worker, but was disappointed at its lack of availablilty for several months after its announcement. I was delighted to see it available on Cooking.com, and ordered it as soon as it was announced.The new version has several improvements over the original - the most notable is the much-more visible clock (with program status), and the feature that allows me to increase the auto-shutoff timing to 4 hours.An added bonus is its ability to accommodate taller travel mugs, and its better placement of the drip-tray. I always had to place a folded paper towel in front of the other unit, because the inevitable drips always landed on the counter. That being said, the new unit has (so far) not dripped at all after dispensing a cup.

The Deluxe Brew Station is Excellant! I love the over all appearance!, and the bonus of having a chioce as to how long(up to 4hours!) I can keep my coffee warm is so convenient. The way it is designed, I can even get my extra tall cup under the dispenser! This is by far the Best Coffee Maker I have Purchased!
Great Job Hamilton Beach!!!!!!!!!

My wife & I have been looking at different coffee pot for about 1 month, we finally decided to purchase a Hamilton Beech Platinum Deluxe Brew Station at several discount stores this same coffee pot was about 8 to 10 higher that what I found on the internet at cooking.com plus I received free delevery. Some places on the internet showed at the same price as cooking .com but the didnot include the perminate coffee filter the added $10.00 for the filter.
After I ordered it from Cooking.com I received it a on the day they said I would.
Thanks Very Muck Cooking.com
